Expected a xmas concert with old standards instead got songs that had nothing to do with the season. So sad, maybe next year will be back to normal. Not a show tune or opera fan.

What a way to start the holidays!!! The Williamsburg Symphony Christmas Pops concert has been on my calendar now for 4 years since we moved here. They are magnificent. This year the concert was in the Presbyterian Church although it has previously been in the Kimball Theater on DOG Street. This year featured soprano Sarah Jane McMahon who was fabulous.The Symphony is much under appreciated local treasure that can hold its own against any national symphony. I've been to many! I was waiting for them to play their raucous version of Sleigh Ride and they didn't disappoint.Kudos to the many volunteers who maintain the symphony. I wish I were wealthy enough to become a patron because they deserve every bit of support they can muster!The Symphony has many events year round from classical to jazz and everything in between. Take a ride on the wild side and make a date to go see them soon! The Cabaret event in January is next on the calendar and it is always wonderful.The new musical director Michael Butterman is a total blessing with his happy face and fresh way of programming.I am a huge fan!

Went to the pops concert starring Tony DeSare. If they have more of these events I will become a member for sure

This was our first evening with the symphony since moving to Williamsburg. It was a one-night event of cabaret with members of the symphony and some local talent. It was warm and wonderful in the ballroom of a local inn. It felt intimate and was a wonderful experience. I think any chance to see the symphony in this small city should be enjoyable. We will be back.

Every year my husband and I visit Williamsburg for Grand Illumination Weekend and a highlight of our stay is the WSO holiday pops concert. This is a really excellent orchestra and the addition of the combined Briton Parish and Williamsburg Presbyterian choirs made this year’s concert even more beautiful. Highly recommended!
